Orange has launched the Entrepreneur Club, a website that provides practical guidance and tools for company creation to startups in Africa and the Middle East. At the Club, entrepreneurs can find information on the legal environment, how-to sheets, best practices, tips and video testimonials in which experienced entrepreneurs from Africa and the Middle East talk about the problems they have encountered and what they do to overcome them. Specialized journalists and lawyers contribute technical articles and practical advice in easy-to-understand language. In addition to Orange’s local B2B services, the site introduces Orange’s business support services, Imagine with Orange, Orange Partner, Orange Developer, Orange Fab and Orange Digital Ventures. Orange also supports small and medium companies in the region as part of its corporate social responsibility policy, for example, through the Orange Prize for the social entrepreneur in Africa and by working with a number of local incubators (CTIC in Senegal, CIPMEN in Niger, etc.).
